Wanna ask the stay at home mommy here with LO coming to 18 months .. at what age do u plan to send your LO to childcare or those half day or few hours playgroup ?

If you intend to go back to work, go to childcare. But i tried working out sums before. The comparison between Playgroup and Childcare (after all the subsidies) Appletree playgroup - one month $240 Childcare (after working mum sub and addtional sub ) - one month $280 I can to place my son in the childcare longer hours, meals are being cared for and nap time too.
